The purpose of a low-profile bumper is to remain as OEM as possible by adding some protection without cutting up your whole bumper to do it.

Just don’t go into a high clearance with wings for the sole purpose of wanting to run larger tires. This is to be debated by many though as more problems are usually found at the pinch weld, firewall, and cab mounts when looking to run larger tires as opposed to in the front of the Tacoma. Another drawback to a low profile vs a full front bumper is no additional real estate for clearing larger tires – unless you opt for a bumper with high clearance “wings”.

Now, you can definitely gain a confidence boost when approaching an obstacle knowing that you have some armor installed.

In exchange for replacing the plastic valance, you get added protection, additional recovery points, and mounts for a winch and mounts for accessory lights along with a center light bar. These slim bumper designs typically take up the lower part of the front bumper and replace the OEM black front valance.
